June 2017 Loot (VERY LATE)

Hey everyone! I just realized that I forgot to share my loot for June. I only got a few items, which is probably why I forgot haha I guess another "loot" post for June would be my AmiAmi Grab Box one, but those weren't items I went out of my way to specifically order (if that makes sense).

On top of that I've been super busy lately, not just with work, but with preparing for my trip to Japan next month! Its been crazy and I haven't really gotten a moment to myself...well, I kinda did but I decided to use that time to finish Persona 5 (I finished my first run at level 74 and my end time was 95 hours ON THE NOSE!!) and start Odin Sphere--which I am loving. ♥

Before I show off my "loot" I'm gonna do some rambling below. Feel free to skip.

I also tried to finish up Persona Q since I kinda fear quit during the Evil Spirit Club, my poor heart couldn't handle it. But I got a rude awakening when I kept encountering a system error every time I tried to complete a certain puzzle. I'll put which one in the spoiler below....

View spoilerHide spoilerWhen Rei goes off by herself to find the key cards on the third floor. The one you get to after falling through the roof.

Up until now I had been using my PQ 3DS and was worried that it might be the cartridge instead. So I tested out a few other games (Devil Survivor Overclocked and Fire Emblem Awakening) and discovered the same error again when I did something specific. So I took those games and did a system transfer to my other DS (the galaxy one that I have barely touched) and tried it out there. Everything was fine which told me it wasn't the cartridge but the system. I was pretty distraught, but at the same time I've had the PQ 3DS since it came out and it has been through a lot (despite looking brand new) so it had a little trip to Nintendo to get repaired and is currently on the way back to me. Send your prayers!

Anyway...I thought this month would have a little more since there's a lot of things on my "Ordered" that technically came out in June buuuut I forgot that I ordered those items through AnimeBLVD so they'll be coming out this month instead since AB is a US warehouse. Oops.

I think for July and August (since everything will come at the end of July and I'm leaving beginning of August) I'll do a video loot post...which has me kinda nervous. But it's going to be a lot of stuff. ;;

We'll see when I get there tho.

Now that the rambling is done--onto the loot!

FIGURES

There aren't any other categories for June. I only ordered three figures to the "family"!

This was a rare figure impulse buy. Usually when I impulse buy I only do it for straps and other small items. But I saw this one floating around for a while and noticed that he had a bunch of delays. At first I was just hoping that the end product would be worth it for the people that waited...then as you guys know "Muder" happened. I laughed when I first saw the typo and I was happy to hear that people were gonna get replacement boxes instead of dealing with another delay. Eventually I saw him pop up on TOM as in stock and after asking if TOM had the corrected box, decided to order one myself.

My thought process was "eh, I could sell him for what I paid if I don't like him" since there seemed to be a lot of people wanting him. But I fell in love. This figure is GORGEOUS. my photo does him no justice. I love the box too, its very clever. This is the only BB figure I own and I think its time to change that haha

I think my only downside is that he's looking up so its hard to place him in a good spot. Oh! And he was a little bit of a pain to put on the base. His butt cloak didn't give me a lot of room to see the pegs.

Now we get to the final item, I had preordered this immediately after finishing season one. I was so excited that he and Deku were being made into nendos! I hope GSC makes more of the cast. ♥

I was very excited that he wasn't delayed and this little b@stard is adorable and deadly. In fact, some of you may have seen my comment about how his mask actually scratched me and drew blood as I was putting the peg in his back (I actually have a scar now!).

I think my thoughts for him are the same as Deku. He's adorable and I love him to death and I really do hope that GSC rereleases them both because those aftermarket prices are insane, but I feel that the Heroes Edition's are very hard to pose? I feel like nedorizing a figma doesn't work very well. I felt this way about Marth and Sheeda ( ITEM #287727 & ITEM #287814 ) as well. They're very fickle in how they want to be positioned and its hard to get the "on the box" poses. I also felt that the peg you put in his back was very, VERY short. Like shorter than most nendos, so I have to be careful when I move him or open the case.

I wish I took a photo of it but I was afraid to hurt myself again. ; v;)/

So in place of that, have this photo.

Alright and that's it! Like I said, not much for June. But July and August will be a different story. I already feel the judgement from my mom as she hates this hobby. (,,꒪꒫꒪,,)

agentmozell (7 meses atrás) #23549115Probably because of the smaller joints? That's the only thing I can think of. I have a few figmas on preorder so maybe later on I can make a comparison. haha I know the JJBA Super Action Hero line is SUPER hard to pose cause the joints are stiff.

Probably lol
I don't have any figures from that line so I can't much about it XD

Ciciely (7 meses atrás) #23549220Ahhh Bakugo looks great. When I got Midoriya I was pretty frustrated with posing his arms, did you feel the same? I feel like that's the hardest part for me on any of my nendo's actually..

Yeah, I felt that the Heroes Editions are harder than normal nendos. I would've prefered static arms like any other nendo. ;;

Jess-chan (7 meses atrás) #23549077You're welcome! I dunno why some of these nendos are so hard and or annoying to pose lol
